The first nugget of music from the live action Beck film has been released. Snippets of “Evolution” can be heard in the original Beck movie trailers, but this is the first time we’ve heard Chiba’s vocals. The video gives us a first look at Beck’s lives as well as new movie clips. “Evolution” does not appear in the original BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad anime and it hasn’t been announced if any of the anime songs will be carried over. A listing for the soundtrack has popped up on CD Japan and Play-Asia; however, it does not include “Evolution” or any of the band songs. Beck opens in Japan this weekend.

The first of Nujabes’ unreleased work has hit the internet. The appropriately titled “Homeward Journey” is a collaboration with fellow Hyde Out Productions artist Uyama Hiroto. The song was released on a 12″ record with two other versions. There are plans to release an album of unfinished work later this year or 2011. Talk to this guy if you want to take part in the Nujabes documentary.
